The Joy of the LORD is Our Strength
from Covenant Community Church Indianapolis · host Dr. Wallace O. McLaughlin, M.Div., Ph.D.
Scripture Text: Nehemiah 8:9-10 (NRSV)Black History month is a time for us to reclaim the joy and strength of African American people’s identity. It celebrates overcoming grief, tragedy and triumphs through the power of God. One of the greatest intellectuals for the Christian Church in the 20th century aptly noted “if it had not been for the been for the black church, there would probably be no church in this country.” In today’s message Pastor Wallace shares insights from Nehemiah 8:9-10 to better understand the meaning of history as related to God in our Black History. The essence of our collective faith in these difficult times is grounded in the words of Ezra to the people for us not to “grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your (our) strength.” The Lord centers joy and strength in us from day to day. That’s why we must celebrate! AmenSupport the show
